    Thanks TA! Awesome when some of our top posters use their influence for good and help their fellow OzBargainers grab a great deal!!

    • Hi, would this be good for a year 9 student or too heavy at 1.78 kg? My daughter dropped her HP laptop, still usable but really painful to use as one of the hinge is out. Thanks in advance.

  • +10

    wow!
    828 after code
    704 after cashback
    624 after TRS (TRS calculated from full price 899)
    is that a (enough) bargain ?

  • +4

    the usual question:
    ram and ssd are user upgrade-able?
    and hdmi version?

  • Windows 11 Home :(

    • +5

      The ThinkPad E16 Gen2 is certified for Ubuntu. So that's probably the better option.

    • +6

      If you need Pro, just install Pro unlicenced. I'm looking at an unlicenced screen right now and the watermark is barely noticeable - how much time do you really spend in the lower right corner of your screen?

  • I just bought this laptop last night. I got a shipped email with an hour of shipping but the order page says it is unshipped. I'm wondering if it's worth the hassle of cancelling and reordering to save $70

    • +2

      They'll charge you with a re-stocking fee if you cancel now, happened to me last time

  • I hope Lenovo has improved product build quality. Is it still made of plastic body ? My last laptop broke at a joint of screen and keypad after 3 years (of normal use).

    • +4

      Go for T series or above instead. These E series are usually built from plastic, which is why they have lower prices.

      • +1

        my work laptop is T. do you think we can feel the difference of built materials between E and T series ?

        • +1

          Yes, and the weight as well. T (spec for spec) is lighter - in my experience anyway.

      • +3

        I'd 100% rather buy a second hand T or X series than a new E series tbh

  • Anyone know what the battery life is like?

    • +2

      Only 47 Wh so not going to be fantastic

  • +9

    Thanks TA is there a 14 version :-| ?

    • +6

      14 inch version would be great!

      • -1

        thats what she said…

      • 43cm even greater. Bring it once, use more comfortable size all-day

    • +2

      Would love a 14 inch version too!

    • +2

      Second this. Would love a deal on a 14" @tightarse ;)

  • +1

    How heavy is she?

  • -2

    are these any good?

  • if only this has Graphic Card like RTX 4050/4060 in it… :(

    • +3

      No Wukong for you David :P

    • +5

      perhaps you should buy a gaming laptop instead of a business grade laptop

      • this E series is not business grade its the lowest

  • what the heck just bought one …

    thanks OP.

    • wow shipped already! must've really had a surplus.

  • Can we earn in Rewards and still be eligible for cashback @tightarse? It automatically included as the Lenovo Rewards but not sure if we need to cancel this first?

    • +1

      This is totally fine 👍

      • Thanks, bought!

  • Missed that TA was a part of TC, will give them a go now!

    • Full story here 😊

      • @tightarse I just joined TopCashback for this deal. When should I get a tracking email?

        • +1

          Welcome to TCB!! Just checked API reporting for this promo. Lenovo cashback is taking around 60-70 minutes to land in member accounts.

  • +2

    45% NTSC. Damn. If only it was the standard quality 72% NTSC (99% sRGB).

    • +1

      45% NTSC should be illegal

    • Was about to ask how good/bad is that screen, so its sh|t, right?

      • It is slightly brighter than the norm, and a higher resolution. But compared to a base model TV or monitor, or a mid-range laptop, the screen is missing about 1/3 of the colour. To loosely simulate this, you could open an image in any free photo editing software on your PC and then reduce the colour saturation by 33%. The image will turn visibly grey. That's what these screens are like 24/7.

        • I feel like that's a bit unfair. Side by side with another laptop it'll be noticeably less rich / vibrant, but on its own I find you get used to monitors that have poor coverage and it really doesn't matter much unless you're working with photos and/or printing out colour regularly.

          • @CarbonTwelve: Even the cheapest monitor has 99% sRGB. This laptop screen has about 65% sRGB. I was never comparing standard monitors to high-end professional monitors.
            I've used laptops with this colour gamut, and it's noticeable the entire time. Everything looks dull/ grey the entire time you're using them. Your desktop, icons on the task bar, websites, etc. You can see it the whole time. There's a reason they don't make monitors or TV's with this low of a colour gamut.

            • @Viper8: OK so maybe I jumped on this deal too quick - but I'm currently on a HP Pavilion L1M30PA i3 bought in 2016 and according to Google it is 1366 x 768 maximum resolution, 220-nits brightness and 45% NTSC. So bummed it's not much of an upgrade but I can probably handle the washed-out colours.

              Was originally looking at 3k OLED laptops for ~$2k but don't need that for my usage I guess.

  • +2

    Any Lenovo with good graphic card? 4060 +

    • Second this. Would love to see a good gaming laptop deal.

      • 3 this. would like LOQ 4050 as minimum legion even better

        • 15-20% cashback plus at least 16G ram and 4060 plus video card laptop is welcomed. around $1200 before cashback will be ideal.

  • Bought one. Thanks TA!

  • Makes the used gen 8 9 10 Intel look very expensive

    • yep those 10gen refub is $600++ lol

  • Ordered

  • Can I get cashback on 2 units?

    • +1

      Of course. No limit on how many you buy. Please just note the 15% cashback rate ends tonight, then 4.55% tomorrow.

      • thanks TA

  • Sorry kids no dinner this week

    • +1

      You will eat your spreadsheets and you will be grateful

      • Stop eating your words.

  • 7535HS CPU
    is that equal to which intel gen?
    edit: 12th gen i5

  • Thanks TA

  • I was getting errors when applying an accessory. I think the deal is exclusively for the laptop(?). Thanks TA. Legendary

  • Solid laptops, been using Thinkpads for 8-9 yrs.

    • which one ? E, T, P, or X series ?

      • T, work supplied one.

  • Will the 15% cashback work with the existing code on the lenovo website "SPRING" that gets automatically applied for other laptops eg: https://www.lenovo.com/au/en/p/laptops/yoga/yoga-pro-series/yoga-pro-7i-gen-9-(14-inch-intel)/83e2cto1wwau1 ?

  • Nice deal but do we hodl for a 20% shopback like it was a couple of weeks ago???

    • +1

      Please read the very last line of the OP in italics.

      • ohhh exclusive!! Nice deal!
